As everyone knows, our basketball team has been assigned to Rupp Arena at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Ky. for the first and second rounds of the NCAA men's basketball tournament. This will be a very hostile place for our team to play and we need to get as much support for them as possible.
One way that we can do this is to actually join them at the game. As of Tues. March 10, there were still plenty of seat available to watch our men play, but it is at least an eight-hour drive and will be hard to get there. Thus, we have put together a plan to get more students there on chartered buses (subsidized) that will provide all transportation to and from the games only. This will include 4 games on Friday, March 13 and 2 games on Sunday, March 15. Tickets for all 6 games are $90 and can be purchased by calling 1-800-928-2287 or (606) 257-1818. Hotel rooms are also being arranged with AAA Travel. More information can be found on the web at: www.duke.edu/~dmm4/ncaa.html.
If you are interested in going, you MUST call the DSG office at 684-6403 by 4 pm on Wed. March 11. These buses will only go if there is enough interest.
